[US] How would you feel if the next administration (2029-2033) used some form of algocracy? (lemmy.zip)

In this scenario, the 2028 elections have already passed, but the discussion isn't about whether the Democrats, Republicans, or another party won.

Rather, the question is whether that administration is using AI to develop certain policies in the economic, scientific, technological, transportation, military, tax, health, or other sectors. Would you accept that administration using these tools, or would you prefer that humans make those policies?

this is kind of a weird one, because I think LLMs generally would natively recomend above average policies, but you know for a fact that the people currently in charge would train this specific LLM and feed it data and configure it's memory/context/prompt are going to massage the inputs such that it's essentially replacing "all the rich white guys decided to give Israel 999 billion dollars to Israel, sorry buddy, that's democracy" to "sorry buddy, computer says, we gotta give 999 billion dollars to Israel".

It would be a waste of resources to try to switch to an LLM who would be in agreement with that administration's policies.

I feel it would be more accurate to say they'd use the model for advice, then apply their human touch-up. But it would be quite ironic if the successful policies were the ones proposed by the AI and left unchanged, while the modified ones were a complete failure.
